Problem Exporting Project as STL


Until recently, I was able to export my xDesign projects as STL files without any issues using the normal “Export” function.

Now, suddenly, every export attempt immediately shows the message:

“Export not allowed. You are not authorized to export from this Collaborative Space. Contact your administrator.”

The important point is:

  • I AM the platform administrator.
  • I also tested this with newly created parts.
  • I created a completely new private Collaborative Space (“Andreas Space”) and saved the part there.
  • The problem still occurs immediately when clicking “Export”.
  • I cannot even reach the STL/STEP format selection dialog anymore.

Additional information:

  • Modeling and saving work normally.
  • I can create/edit Collaborative Spaces.
  • I have roles like:
    • Platform Manager
    • Collaborative Industry Innovator
    • SOLIDWORKS xDesign

I only use xDesign occasionally (not daily), so I am wondering:

  • Has Dassault changed something regarding export permissions or licensing?
  • Is this a known policy/role synchronization issue?
  • Or is there a hidden setting for STL export permissions?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
